200, maybe for a driver. I paid about 350 each from Tri City plating in TN. I actually went to there shop to pick them up. After I saw the actuall process and what it takes to make a show chrome bumper when I was done writing the check I asked if he needed any more money.
If you have never seen the process for yourself you will NEVER get the idea of what goes into it. I thought hey "they dip it strip it rechrome it" any monkey can do that.
Nope, after I saw these pour fellas sweating there *** off grinding and hammering, and lead soldering all day I had a good appriciation for the work, especially the dipping and stripping, they all had healthy kids but I can't see how with all that crap.
I never got a good deal from them or anything paid my money like anyone else but I would be a spokesman anyday!! Its just amazing the process. Its a family run buisness from 3 generations. When I was there and I asked the Old codger how did you know what kind of bumpers and guards were on a 64 Barracuda. After he put down his cigar, in an old ruff voice he said, "I git me one of them damn grandkids o my sons and show dem the book, den I get em out back and go to duh pile" I asked what pile? He brought me out back to 3 giant piles of bumpers, about 20 feet high and 30 feet in diameter. Bascally the kids go through the piles every day looking for what needs to be recromed. When He said your order is over here my name was on 2 neatly wrapped bumpers in brown paper, along with about 250 others, racks and racks of orders. There are about 30 or so of workers, wish I would have took pictures.
Oh yeah I just ordered bumpers for my latest project a 77 Truck.
